Floater is an American rock band currently based in Portland, Oregon. The band was started in 1993 by Robert Wynia, along with Peter Cornett and David Amador. They are known for their progressive concept albums, stylized storytelling, intense live performances, and devoted fanbase. Floater routinely sells out local venues in Oregon[1] and periodically plays shows in the neighboring states of Washington, California, Nevada, and Idaho. Floater has played a variety of venues, including CBGB in New York and the Roxy Theatre in Los Angeles.[2] The band was also a musical guest for Live Wire Radio on OPB radio.[3] The band was voted the "Best Band" in the Willamette Week "Best of Portland" reader's poll for 2009 and 2010.[4][5]
